Amongst the rest, relaxation and enjoyment of New Zealand summer, you might have missed the latest luxury news; our friends at Gucci recently unveiled their new release a delightfully quirky collaboration with famed adventure brand The North Face.
Designed by Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, the nostalgic range features details, shapes and equipment based on original designs from The North Face’s archive.

Fittingly, the collection was shot against the breathtaking glory of the Alps in the Daniel Shea-lensed campaign, which captures vibrant candid moments inspired by 70s holiday snaps.

It’s a timely release, not just for the holidays but due to the shifting ways we’re exploring the world around us. As the world grapples with closed borders, the inspiration of travel leads to self-discovery in this unique partnership, celebrating the freedom of the great outdoors something we can all relate to here in Aotearoa.
